I thought that I would share this "little read" with you... to get me back into the groove of clicking the keyboard. It's good to be back. It's been a long week. HUGE Thanks to my awesome hubby for being so techy and getting me back online. So, did you miss me as much as I've missed you?? I have so much to catch up on with ya'll. ;)

Big Mud Puddles and Sunny Yellow Dandelions

Author Unknown - Taken from the latest MOPS Newsletter

When I look at a patch of dandelions, I see a bunch of weeds that are going to take over my yard.

My kids see flowers for Mom and blowing the white fluff that you can wish on.

When I look at an old drunk and he smiles at me, I see a smelly, dirty person who probably wants my money and I look away.

My kids see someone smiling at them and they smile back.

When I hear music I love, I know I can't carry a tune and don't have much rhythm so I sit self-consciously and listen.

My kids feel the beat and move to it. They sing out the words. If they don't know them, they make up their own.

When I feel wind on my face, I brace myself against it. I feel it messing up my hair and pulling be back when I walk.

My kids close their eyes, spread their arms and fly with it until they fall to the ground laughing.

YEAH!!!! Glad you're back! Thank you for posting this..... as we are "finishing" our list for the year, I ind the list to be bigger than the life going on around us. Our kids have been seeing things like rabbits and cloud formations. Thanks for the reminder!

Welcome back Bevy!! Thank you for today's post~~it's beautiful. I can still see my little guys (now big guys) walking across the backyard with daisies in their hands and putting them behind their backs when they'd get near the house so they could surprise me with them. Oh, now I need to get a tissue!! Thanks for the memories. ;-)

"Good communication is as stimulating as black coffee, and just as hard to sleep after." ~ A.M.L.

Hello, I'm glad you're here. This is where I hope you can pull up a chair and stay for awhile. Perhaps pour yourself a cup of coffee or tea and savor this moment for you! I would love to hear if you did.. let me know via your thoughts and comments. My prayer is that you were made to feel right at home. Please come back again, anytime!

Hello again...
I, Bevy, am a wife to one amazing and hard-working man.
The Mother to three lovely and lively blessings!
A sister. A friend. A homemaker.
Although I fail miserably...I do desire to be that Proverbs 31 woman. One whose heart and home is full of WELCOME and that hosts a Spirit of Hospitality.
But most importantly, I want to "treasure up and ponder" the gift of my Salvation and to humbly share the blessings of my life with you - my reader.
